Using a catchall is a bad idea, especially if noone is going to read the mail (people who mistype an email address won't know that they made a mistake). There are valid uses for a catchall, however, like training spam filters, or doing benchmarking. I'd put the catchall entry in virtual_alias_maps, but you might then have to duplicate all the addresses from virtual_mailbox_maps so the mail is accepted. If this is okay, you can use the alias and rewrite it to a "local address". Then you add an entry to /etc/aliases (or /etc/postfix/aliases): catchall: /dev/null
